Insiders familiar with the situation claim the decision to fire the turntablist was not impulsive. Members of the band reportedly reached a breaking point regarding how Wilson treated his colleagues, leading to his permanent removal. Wilson, an original member who joined the group in 1999, has remained silent on the specifics of his departure, even as speculation intensifies regarding his professional conduct.
The band had planned to control the narrative of the split before external media reports forced their hand. This early disclosure has left the remaining members, including Corey Taylor, Mick Thomson, and Shawn "Clown" Crahan, grappling with the loss of their planned announcement. Guitarist James "Jim" Root addressed the swirling rumors on Instagram by urging fans to exercise caution, posting, "Don’t believe everything you read," while playing the band’s 2008 track "Til We Die."
Wilson’s professional exit coincides with turbulence in his personal life, following reports that his engagement to Kelly Osbourne has ended. While questions persist regarding the future of the band’s lineup, Wilson has shifted his focus to promoting his independent retail shop, sidthe3rdshop.com. Slipknot has not issued an official public statement regarding the termination.
